Calling all Toronto area comic book nerds: this weekend has something to look forward to, the Toronto ComiCON. But for the horror-loving comic nerds (like myself) there’s something cooler going on off-site:
Of Mystery and the Macabre: The Guy Davis Exhibition
This Saturday, February the 27th, one of my favourite comic artists, Guy Davis is hosting a [...]
The holiday season is over, the tree taken down, knotted Christmas lights return to their basement dwellings and those damned carols have finally ceased to make our ears bleed and tempers flare. That doesn’t make this gingerbread house (err, church?) any less cool, though. Nicholas Daley and friends made this zombie apocalypse interpreted through ginger [...]
I make it no secret that I dislike Twilight. Friends, family, my girlfriend, random strangers, pets… all have heard me make fun of it at one point or another. It has a huge fan base, but so does Nickelback which doesn’t make it any less super lame.
Check out this little video from the folks of [...]

#27: Fright Night
#26: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

No not the Gus van Sant shot for shot recreation of Psycho, which still perplexes me to this day.
Vanity Fair recently put (current issue maybe?) a photo series of iconic Hitchcock scenes using modern day actors and actresses. Not crappy D list celebrities either, they managed to pull quite a few A listers. I’m not [...]
Livescience.com has a pretty interesting little list about weird ways different cultures the world over deal with death and the disposal of the dead.
